Wandsworth · SW15 · Fridge and freezer disposal
Same-week slots · Fully insured · Local Putney fitters · Fixed written pricesWe provide fridge and freezer disposal in Putney SW15 for houses and flats around Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start. From £45, quoted in writing before the visit, with one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard Units are built in the room they live in, then wall-anchored where they need it.
Overview
Fridge and freezer disposal in Putney SW15 is a fixed-price visit for renter-heavy homes in Wandsworth, most of them mainly Victorian. 20,613 households sit inside this SW15 patch, 72% of them flats, so we quote on access near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start rather than a London average.
How it works
Step 1
Under-counter, full-height or American-style — that alone sets the price, no visit needed to quote.
Step 2
The degassing fee is already inside the figure; nothing is added once the facility processes the unit.
Step 3
Next-day is standard across every borough; same-day is often available for a single unit.
Step 4
Unit is kept upright wherever possible to avoid disturbing the compressor oil and refrigerant lines.
Step 5
Taken to an approved WEEE facility where the refrigerant is recovered before scrapping, with the transfer note emailed to you.
Why choose us
Next-day collection is standard across every borough, and same-day is usually available for a single unit booked before mid-morning. Putney (South Western) is the nearest station, so a SW15 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
We expect with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded in SW15, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces.
Refrigerant-containing appliances are classed as WEEE and controlled under the Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations and the F-Gas Regulations — the gas must be recovered by a certified technician before the unit is crushed or scrapped, and we handle that step at an approved facility rather than leaving it to the tip.
One or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard. Boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts.
Fixed prices
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under-counter fridge or freezer | £45 | 20–30 min | Smaller units still need the same degassing process, so the price floor reflects the facility charge rather than the size. |
| Full-height fridge or fridge-freezer | £60 | 20–30 min | Priced per unit for collection plus the WEEE facility's per-item gate fee for degassing and recycling. |
| American-style or larger fridge-freezer | £85 | 30–45 min | Extra crew time for the size and weight through a doorway, plus a higher refrigerant charge on some larger units. |
| Chest or upright freezer | £55 | 20–30 min | Same F-gas recovery step as a fridge, priced per unit against the approved facility's rate. |
| Wine cooler or drinks fridge | £40 | 15–20 min | Smaller refrigerant charge than a full fridge, but still requires the same certified recovery step before scrapping. |
| Second unit on the same visit | £30 each | Added to visit | One collection, one degassing trip to the facility — each extra unit avoids a second call-out charge. |

The cleaners Constantin and arrived in time and never stopped until the work was completed to the best of their ability. I would recommend a more upgraded carpet cleaner as I was hoping for a hot steam cleaner to penetrate areas or heavy foot traffic on the carpet. They never gave up until the look… Read in full →

Working in Putney
Putney SW15 is mainly Victorian and renter-heavy: 72% of homes here are flats and 28% are houses, across 20,613 households (ONS Census 2021).
With 38% private renting against 47% owner-occupied, most SW15 bookings land on a move-in day rather than a weekend.
Putney substrates run to with metal stud partitions between rooms — and dot-and-dab plasterboard over blockwork, which is why London Borough of Wandsworth kerb rules get settled before the van is loaded. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Putney gives us short screws that grip only the board and slowly lever it off the dabs, which is what a 72% flat share across the ONS neighbourhood covering Putney actually produces is the mistake that costs a SW15 customer twice.
Putney is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it. What shapes the job more is the neighbourhood itself — the Boat Race start, the embankment rowing clubs and the high street shops — which is why a SW15 quote is not a Wandsworth average.
On access, boat Race day closures, Putney High Street bus gate and mansion blocks with small lifts — one reason one or two crew depending on access; American-style and full-height units on an upper floor with no lift are booked as a two-person job as standard. Fitters travelling in use Putney (South Western).

Disconnecting an integrated fridge or freezer that is plumbed or wired in — that is a trade job we can refer you for; Commercial catering refrigeration and cold rooms, which are quoted separately due to larger refrigerant volumes; Units that have been dismantled or had the refrigerant circuit cut open for Putney (SW15) addresses — and a median age of 34 in this neighbourhood, with 38% of SW15 homes being privately rented, which need a specialist hazardous-waste route instead. Anything outside that scope is quoted separately so the Putney SW15 price you agree is the price you pay on the streets near Putney Bridge and the Boat Race start, with this being a short walk from Putney (South Western).
